Playing with eraser and texture

Tutorial Index


Lets open a white canvas 400x400 pixels. I did choose the paint brush with a multi color yellow and a brush size at about a 100, did keep soft edge at 50%. Now you have to paint the whole surface of your canvas, do not use the fill color for this.
Ok Now the fun begin, for the texture I did choose paper 24 with a multi green color, and painted all over my canvas. This is super if you wanted to paint some clothing and want to have a textile looks to it. Ok, lets move on to the next step.
Now, Click on the eraser, use this setting and also click on texture and use the same texture, you have just apply.
Now lets use this eraser as a brush, the more you pass over the lighter it become, it tone your paint and keep the texture below, try some different setting and texture to see how powerful it is. This could be very useful for your folding, highlights on a mountain, sky etc.
Here, lets try an other one, Open a new 400x400 white canvas again, with the paint brush I did use the square paint brush size about 100, wit a multi color brown.
Here I have choose a Texture Paper 15 with a multi color light brown and then on top of it painted with a texture Paper 34 with a multi color dark yellow kind of greenish. With the same setting for the eraser and using the last texture I did use the paper 34, I did brush up some area. It gives more depth to the texture. Experiment with these, you could achieve some stunning result with it. Below I'm showing some examples.
The one on the left, the paint eraser were use to tone the paint for the reflection for the rays. On the second one above, I did apply the brick texture. And to complete the painting, I did use the eraser again on some area of the brick keeping the same texture for the paint eraser. Let me show you, what more you could do.
	We will need one image and one background painting that we are going to combine together. Ok, here we are, I did use to make this quick image, Painted Object and some Poser That I did render in PI to make this image, Remember the size of your image, cause you will need this information to paint a background on your second canvas.
	Now open a canvas the same size as your image, Paint a background on it, not to much details. Now that your canvas is done let move on to the next step.
	Lets the fun begin, Here I did choose the charcoal gritty brush and for the texture I did click on add texture and navigate to first image click on it. Check back to make sure your image is selected under the texture. With a white color, start to paint all over your canvas, the image will start to appear on it, Once you have done that, Click on the paint eraser and wipe away some unwanted paint you have just apply. Experiment with this one, try other color than white, use different color for different part of your painting, the result are just amazing, but be sure your two image have the same canvas size. Don't forget to show your result in the painting forum.
